نویسنده
چکیده
One thought kept coming back as I was preparing this presentation: “How is it possible that despite our having an early marker for oral cancer namely, oral dysplasias we are no more effective today than we were 50 years ago in the fight against oral cancer? By this I mean that the mortality rates for oral cancer have not changed in spite of the professional awareness of precancerous lesions, and their potential risk of becoming malignant. Moreover, these lesions present to us the possibility of observable changes in the oral mucosa weeks and months prior to the onset of cancer.
